Thursday, January 16th finds two of the East’s elite teams the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks tipping off. This is the second meeting of the season with the Celtics winning 116-105 in the clubs first meeting on October 30th.
Boston will be playing the second game of a back to back set hosting the Pistons on Wednesday prior to traveling to play the Bucks in Milwaukee on Thursday.
Last season, the teams played three times with the Bucks taking two of three contests. The Celtics hold the all-time record having bested the Bucks in 110 of their 214 matches
Boston Celtics
The Celtics like several of the top East squads (Heat, 76ers, Pacers) perform extremely well at home but display issues on the road. This was true in their last two road games versus the Wizards and 76ers as they lost both.

Returning to the warm confines of T.D. Garden for games against the Pelicans and Bulls the Celtics rediscovered their scoring prowess and winning ways. That feeling didn’t last with a bad 116-103 loss to the Pistons on Wednesday where they only won the second quarter.
Jaylen Brown delivered with a 24 point, 12 rebound double-double. Gordon Hayward (25) and Kemba Walker (19) were the only other Celtics to register double-figures.
Walker is the team leader in scoring (21.7) and assists (5.1). Jayson Tatum tops rebounding (6.9), and steals (1.4), Gordon Hayward serves up the best field goal percent (52.0%), and Daniel Theis leads for blocks (1.4).
Jayson Tatum is dealing with a sore right knee and was anticipated to dress for both the Pistons and Bucks but didn’t play against Detroit.
This could be more precautionary than problematic and would keep him fresh for the Bucks game if it’s the latter.
Robert Williams III (bone edema, hip) is out until late January.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks continued their dominance of the league with a methodical takedown of the Knicks on Tuesday by a score of 128-102.
Milwaukee jumped on the Knicks scoring 29 points versus 23 in the first quarter and then put their finishing touches on the match with a 43 point third quarter.
In the win, Giannis Antetokounmpo was a beast delivering 37 points, nine boards, and four assists in only 21:26 playing time. Most impressively the reigning MVP scored 17 points in the third frame before checking out at 5:40 having finished his job for the night.
Khris Middleton (17), Ersan Ilyasova (14) and Eric Bledsoe (11) were the trio of Bucks who also produced double-figure efforts.
On the season Giannis Antetokounmpo leads four team categories for the Bucks including scoring (30.0), assists (5.5), rebounding and (12.7), and field goal percentage (55.4%). The other categories are led by Donte DiVincenzo (steals 1.5) and Brook Lopez (blocks: 2.4).
Frank Mason missed the game versus New York with a strained left oblique, and it is questionable for the game versus the Celtics on Thursday.

Free Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
Tatum’s status is a factor and while the Celtics defeated the Bucks it was very early in the season. Giannis is such a competitor this could one of those games he earmarks to send a message.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Bucks -13.5
Regardless if Tatum can go or not the Bucks will expose the absence of size in the Celtics frontcourt and Giannis could put up a nasty line. If Tatum plays increase Celt’s score by five to seven but Bucks still win easily.
